Gah missed that one -- Caught the one dissolving the new zealand one instead >< - my bad

I think the moral of the story is DON'T NAME YOUR COMPANY ZYON MEDIA.

As a rule of thumb: anything "work from home" is a scam.

I wouldn't go quite so far in general, because this would classify my wife's work (who earns a lot more than me, and likely a lot more than you, too) as scam. Though you are right insofar as most jobs that are primarily advertised as "work from home" are scams.

Plus, any company that

• has a name that sounds almost exactly like an existing company (Zylom in this case)
  
  or
  
  
  • is "international" or "world leader" and you've not heard from them before
    
    or
    
    
    • makes an offer that is unbelieveably good
      
      or
      
      
      • is not a company founded in 1735 that targets exclusively 75 year olds and does not have an accessible website with an imprint and a street address
        
        is almost certainly a scam.

Thanks for all the replies, it did sound too good to be true which is why I was wary of it.

Convinced my friend to give it a miss and continue his search elsewhere.
